A historical heritage mansion, the Carcosa Seri Negara claims a hilltop setting among more than 16 hectares of garden and lawns in the heart of Kuala Lumpur city, Malaysia. The history of Carcosa Seri Negara is integral to the development and history of Malaysia.

In 1895, four Malay states were governed by hereditary Sultans, with the help of British advisors. Sir Frank Swettenham, then the British advisor to the Sultan of Perak, suggested that the four states form a single Federation. His suggestion was accepted by the Sultans and the British Foreign Office. Sir Frank himself was appointed the first Resident-General of the Federated Malay States.

Kuala Lumpur then was a simple village inhabited mainly by Chinese tin miners. But Sir Frank had loved the site ever since 1888, when he visited a jungle area on the western outskirts. Feeling that the town needed a public area, he supervised the damming of a stream on that jungle site. The stream became a lake and the jungle became what is today the Lake Gardens.

In 1896, Sir Frank started constructing his official residence above the Lake Gardens. This was Carcosa, probably a stylization of the Italian cara cosa or "dear place".

In 1904, Sir Frank moved to Carcosa, at the same time finishing a building called "King's House" on an adjacent hillside. King's House, today Seri Negara (which means "beautiful country"), was to house the Governor of the Straits Settlements as well as other illustrious guests of the Malay Federation. From 1904 until the 1941 Japanese invasion of Malaysia, Carcosa was the official residence of the highest British representative to the Malay States. The titles have varied over the years (Resident General became Chief Secretary, which became British Resident, Selangor State), but Carcosa always remained "the house on the hill". Receptions, formal balls and holidays were always celebrated here. When guests arrived, they were housed at the King's House.

A point of pride with the residents has always been the Lake Gardens. Malaysia has over 18,000 indigenous plants, trees and flowers. Added to these, the British planted flora from their previous postings, many of which thrived in this privileged spot.

During World War II, Carcosa became the Japanese Senior Officers' Army Mess. In August 1945, the British Army used the mansions for their own Senior Officers until a Chief Secretary was appointed. With the independence of Malaya in 1957, Carcosa became the official residence of the British High Commissioner, while the King's House – now renamed Seri Negara – was the official guesthouse for Malaysia's most important visitors.

In 1987, Carcosa was returned to the Government of Malaysia, and in 1989, after Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II stayed at Carcosa during the meeting of the commonwealth nations – Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), both mansions were administered together forming what is now called Carcosa Seri Negara.

ONYX TO LAUNCH FIRST AMARI <b>HOTEL IN MALAYSIA</b>

Introducing Amari Johor Baru

 


Bangkok, Thailand. 3 October 2013
- Thailand-based, ONYX Hospitality Group has been appointed to operate a 207-room property in the Malaysian town of Johor Bahru.

Amari Johor Bahru is owned by Exquisite Mode Sdn Bhd (a subsidiary of United Malayan Land Bhd) and will be managed by ONYX under their upscale Amari brand. The property will offer a selection of Amari's signature features including an Asian Food Gallery, Breeze Spa and Idea (meeting) Rooms. The property is scheduled to open in 2015 and is part of the Suasana Iskandar Malaysia development, which also offers serviced apartments for sale and a retail podium. The development is within a 5-minute walk of the upcoming JB Sentral Mass Rapid Transit System (MRT) which will link Johor Bahru and Singapore.

Located in southern Malaysia, Johor Bahru is becoming a popular weekend escape for families and leisure travellers. Singapore is currently Johor's top source of international arrivals, followed by Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, Macau, the Philippines and India. Johor's Department of Tourism is aiming for 24.2 million arrivals in 2013, having recorded 12.6 million as of July. The state of Johor offers a number of popular attractions, including Johor Premium Outlets, Legoland Malaysia, Danga World theme park and the Angry Birds Activity Park. 


ONYX President and Chief Executive Officer, Peter Henley, said:

"We are very excited to be in a position to announce our second hotel development in Malaysia, so soon after the first. As a Thai company, having a presence in one of our closest neighbouring countries has always been a priority for us. We are excited to be joining forces with Exquisite Mode Sdn Bhd. and bringing the first Amari to Malaysia with Amari Johor Bahru. Amari has become a household name in Thailand and we look forward to building that level of brand recognition in Malaysia."

UMLand GCEO, Mr. Charlie Chia Lui Meng said:

"We are honoured to have ONYX Hospitality Group on board to manage and operate Amari Johor Bahru. With its solid reputation and global marketing network, we strongly believe that the collaboration with ONYX will be a win-win for all parties. The development's prime location in the heart of the city, combined with the retail component, is hoped to rejuvenate and revitalise Johor Bahru, preparing the city for economic growth, whilst also offering an attractive and conducive living environment for locals and expatriates."

ONYX announced their first property in Malaysia earlier this year for select service brand OZO. OZO Penang is scheduled to welcome its first guests in 2016. There are currently six OZO properties under development in Malaysia, Thailand and Sri Lanka.
